Oh yeah, I forgot I'm in Ohio where it costs $600 to live [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yeah, probably 1/2 or 2/4

Yeah beating NL100 for a decent winrate makes an allright living IMO. (EDIT: If you're willing to put in the hands)

I started with $50 in october 2006, played NL4 up to $100, ran it up to $300 in january playing NL10. Got drunk one night and lost everything playing NL50 heads up. Took $500 from my paycheck and deposited it to play NL25 in mid february (EDIT: also found/joined 2+2 at this time). Moved to NL50 in march, NL100 in april and NL200 in may.

It wasn't that easy as it sounds, it took me three shots to stay at NL10, two for NL25, three for NL50. NL100 is the only limit I've beat on the first shot. I played NL200 all summer until I hit a huge downswing in august which made me move down to NL50 to retool my game. I'm now playing NL100 although I'm rolled for NL200. Been living off my poker earnings since may.

I got $5 on party 6 months ago and never looked back

[dirtylobster]

Solid. Is that your only deposit and had you played poker before that?

When i was 18, i deposited $250 into 5 different sites, to get bonusses and stuff.

Now 3 years after, I have been withdrawing almost every month, totally probaly $30-40k or so.

Finally decided to only withdraw rakeback now, so build a $13k roll. (beat: playing NL100)

I play way too much though, should study more or i'm gonna fail exams. lol

not sure if this is directed at me, but I'll just assume it is :P

I played some 25nl about 2 years ago on party for a few months...made a little bit of money but ultimately cashed out and put it into school. I didn't really have time to play until a few months ago, when I got a full-time job.

I logged into Party (planning to deposit) and saw they gave me $5. I said what the hell and sat at a 5nl FR table with it, won a couple stacks and then worked it up to where I am now without having to deposit.

I think I could live off 10NL in some African nations. 25NL for sure.
